ERA, the reference materials subsidiary of Waters, has introduced the new eDATA 2.0 Proficiency Testing (PT) portal for environmental laboratories.

The new portal allows users to manage their proficiency testing data more efficiently and gain greater insight into their laboratory’s performance. It features new statistical analysis, data visualization and reporting tools that provide environmental lab managers with the ability to track results over time, flag potential issues and take preventive steps before corrective action becomes necessary.

‘The new PT dashboard makes it easier and faster to manage PT studies and offers quality assurance professionals more options for analyzing and interpreting data,’ said Michael Yelle, vice president, consumables business unit, Waters Division. ‘Moreover, eDATA allows us to better address the proficiency testing requirements of our international customers. ERA’s in-depth knowledge of major international accreditation and regulatory bodies enables us to expertly guide customers through the analytical challenges they face.’
